Meek Mill Says Joe Biden Is “Too Old” To Be President

January 17, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Meek Mill called out Joe Biden on Twitter, earlier this week, suggesting that the 81-year-old is too elderly to be President of the United States. The Philadelphia rapper had been responding to a report that Biden said he delivered a message to Iran’s leaders with the airstrikes on Houthi rebels in Yemen.

“Joe Biden is too old to be our president ‘respectfully’ wtf is going on in the American system that yall pushing this through like it’s okay to trust what we seeing,” he wrote. “We talking [missiles] … advance technology… mental and physical warfare …. That’s not a lane for the older!”

Ebro Darden was among the many users to respond to Meek’s take. He wrote: “The President has a staff of 1800 people. I don’t think any President is an expert on all topics.” Another fan disagreed with Meek: “If his age is a problem, then keep the problems coming because he has been extremely effective. He has my vote!” One more user replied: “Bruh, what? Look at his record, he’s had a better presidency so far than the last 3 presidents. Yall gotta stop misleading people. If you don’t like him, cool. But to say he’s too old? He’s getting the job done at a high rate. His age hasn’t stopped anything…”

Kanye West Reveals Whether Or Not He Will Run For President In 2024

October 20, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Kanye West is someone who always has a million different projects going on at the same time. However, not all of these projects are created equal. Some of them don’t really go anywhere while others are just mired in controversy. Overall, the latter could describe his Presidential bid in 2020. Although there were people who voted for him, he was not a serious candidate. No one thought he would win, and he never even came remotely close to the office of the Presidency.

However, there were reports that he would try it all again in 2024. He got very much into politics last year as he was running around with Nick Fuentes and Milo Yiannopoulos. Ye was additionally running around with streamer Sneako, which just goes to show what kind of politics he was espousing. Furthermore, he was getting extremely anti-semitic the whole time, which ultimately ruined his reputation with a lot of people. Regardless, his foray into these kinds of politics made a Presidential run seem inevitable.

Kanye West Makes Up His Mind

Well, as it turns out, Ye has changed his mind and is turning his back on the office of the Presidency. In a report from Rolling Stone, Kanye’s attorney made it crystal clear that he will not be a candidate this year. Although this might be a bit of a disappointment to some, it comes as a relief to others. A run for the presidency would probably come with plenty of legacy-breaking comments. Moreover, his remaining fans would prefer he focus on music.

In fact, he seemingly has an album on the way with Ty Dolla $ign. Although, as we already know, Ye has been known to go back on his album promises before. Let us know what you think of his most recent decision, in the comments section below. Additionally, stay tuned to HNHH for more news and updates from around the music world. We will always keep you informed.

Jeezy Recalls How Jay-Z Hopped On “My President” & Their Wild Live Debut

September 14, 2023 by newhiphopnews

It’s not always that an artist gets to hear a remix of their song live for the first time alongside a lot of fans. Still, that’s exactly what happened to Jeezy when it comes to his track “My President,” which has a killer Jay-Z feature on the remix. Moreover, the trap pioneer recently stopped by NFL MVP Cam Newton’s Funky Friday Podcast earlier this week. During their conversation, he told the story of how Hov really wanted to be on that beat and how they got those gears turning. In fact, the Atlanta legend was incredibly surprised when the New York rapper got on stage and performed his verse- which his collaborator had never heard prior.

“I remember Jay-Z called, he was like, ‘Yo man, I need to put a verse on that ‘My President,’” Jeezy began. “I ain’t heard the verse, we in the club and I’m performing the song, the music stops. He start rapping the verse I’ve never heard in the club in front of everybody and they’re going cr*zy. I’m just sitting up there I looked at my man like, ‘I told you! I told you!”

Jeezy On Funky Friday

“My President” appeared on Jeezy’s fifth studio album The Recession, which he also called his best. As far as how Jay-Z entered the picture, that’s actually because of, well, a president. The Snowman and the Roc mogul were at Washington, D.C.’s Love Nightclub in January of 2009 to celebrate President Barack Obama’s inauguration, which is where Mr. Carter debuted his verse. The energy in that room must’ve been electric for many different reasons. Few collabs have such a specific and meaningful context behind them.

Still, the 45-year-old did it all for the love of the game; he’s making his money elsewhere. In a recent interview with Forbes New Money, he spoke on how his business ventures outside of rap, like food and liquor (not the Lupe Fiasco album), got him some bags. It’s something that the two lyricists can share, actually, and hopefully there’s another stellar link-up on the way. On that note, stay logged into HNHH for more news and the latest updates on Jay-Z and Jeezy.

Joe Rogan Slams Joe Biden, Says There’s “Undeniable Evidence” of “Corruption”

August 5, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Joe Rogan slammed President Joe Biden while discussing politics with author Patrick Bet-David during a recent episode of his podcast. Rogan labeled the current president “corrupt” and described him as a “goof.”

“Whether you like Trump or not, whether you think he’s corrupt or not, that’s a human being. You know what that guy is,” he said. “Joe Biden has been a goof his whole fucking career. He has always been a goof. He has been caught lying so many times, he is so full of shit. There is so much evidence that he is corrupt.”

From there, Rogan claimed that there is “undeniable evidence” of Biden’s “corruption.” In doing so, he cited “the stuff with him and his son.” He further referred to Devon Archer, “who just testified he was business partners with Hunter who talked about all the different things that Joe was involved with.” “It’s fucking undeniable,” Rogan continued, before accusing the mainstream media of ignoring the alleged corruption. “The fact that mainstream news is ignoring this except for right-wing media is fucking cr*zy.” Check out Rogan’s full comments on Biden below.

The discussion with Patrick Bet-David isn’t the first time Rogan has criticized the President for being “corrupt.” Back in June, the podcaster made similar accusations. “All the fucking stuff with his son and the ties to Ukraine and China and the money. The family, they got paid millions of dollars and everyone was trying to obscure it because, ‘Well, better than Trump. Better than Trump,’” he said at the time.

Kanye West’s 2024 Campaign Reportedly Received Zero Donations In Recent Weeks

July 18, 2023 by newhiphopnews

It’s been a turbulent back and forth battle concerning whether Kanye West’s presidential campaign for 2024 is even happening. However, the most recent report to come out concerning it certainly doesn’t suggest any good news. Moreover, Radar Online reportedly obtained copies of the Federal Electoral Commission’s (FEC) filings on the campaign on Monday (July 17). These documents suggest that not a single person has donated a single penny to it within the past few weeks. As such, hope for the run vanished, yet people wondered how much Ye even cared about in it in the first place.

Furthermore, on April 1 of this year, apparently the campaign had around $125,000 to spare concerning expenses. After paying consultants and additional employees around $101,000 in total, Kanye West’s efforts didn’t have much money to spare by June 30. While the run doesn’t have any outstanding debts indicated by these reports, this means that the campaign apparently had just about $23,000 upon June’s end. In addition, the Chicago artist claimed he blew over $2 million in bills, but only garnered close to $455,000 in donations since his 2024 strategy’s inception.

Back in April, he allegedly told a documentary filmmaker he hired to document the campaign that he wanted to scrap it. “Right now, I am living my life- like I’m concentrating on the school, the Donda Academy, and my new wife, and my kids, and that’s it,” Kanye West apparently told Adam Camacho. “I just want to be left alone.” What’s more is that this turbulent campaign garnered assistance from controversial right-wing figures that hopped on-board, jumped off, and kept teetering on that edge. One of these is Milo Yiannopoulos, who received a $31,000 payment for being Ye’s “Director of Political Operations.”

Meanwhile, rumors of a new album from the Yeezy mogul sprouted online. As such, many fans hope that Ye can rectify his past mistakes and bring new great art to the table. Still, with all these extracurricular controversies, it’s hard to say whether this will even be worth it. For more news and the latest updates on Kanye West, stick around on HNHH.

Supreme Court Strikes Down Student Loan Forgiveness, Joe Biden Responds

July 2, 2023 by newhiphopnews

The Supreme Court has struck down President Joe Biden’s student loan forgiveness plan with a 6-3 vote. The conservation majority ruled “federal law does not authorize the program to wipe out nearly half-a-trillion dollars in debt.” The loan forgiveness plan would have canceled up to $20,000 in loans for Pell Grant recipients and $10,000 for other borrowers whose individual income is less than $125,000.

In response to the decision, Biden has vowed that “this fight is not over” and is working on other means of providing debt relief. The President elaborated on the situation in a statement on Friday.

“I believe that the Court’s decision to strike down our student debt relief plan is wrong,” Biden said in a statement. “But I will stop at nothing to find other ways to deliver relief to hard-working middle-class families. My Administration will continue to work to bring the promise of higher education to every American.”

“The hypocrisy of Republican elected officials is stunning. They had no problem with billions in pandemic-related loans to businesses – including hundreds of thousands and in some cases millions of dollars for their own businesses. And those loans were forgiven,” he said. “But when it came to providing relief to millions of hard-working Americans, they did everything in their power to stop it.”

Striking down student loan forgiveness is just the latest of a series of controversial decisions by the Supreme Court. They also struck down affirmative action programs in college admissions and ruled that businesses can refuse service to LGBTQ+ customers on the basis of religious beliefs. Be on the lookout for more updates on Biden’s plan in the coming days.

June 6, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Lupe Fiasco endorsed Dr. Cornel West for president in the 2024 election. He made the announcement on social media, Monday. West confirmed that he will be running as a candidate for the People’s Party earlier in the day.

“Cornel West For President,” he wrote. “This will be the first and last time I vote. [sunglasses emoji] @CornelWest 2024.” Fans were supportive of Fiasco’s tweet. One replied: “I was just on the phone today talking about politics with my mom. I hope it works out! I’ll vote for him too.” Another wrote: “If this is the case, I’ll do the same.”

As for West’s announcement, he launched his campaign in a video message posted to social media. “In these bleak times, I have decided to run for truth and justice, which takes the form of running for President of the United States as a candidate for the People’s Party,” Dr. West said. “I enter in the quest for truth, I enter in the quest for justice. And the presidency is just one vehicle to pursue that truth and justice — what I’ve been trying to do all of my life.” West has been known for his work as a political activist, social critic, and author for years. He’s penned several popular works including Race Matters (1993) and Democracy Matters (2004).

Lupe Fiasco Endorses Cornel West

Monday’s post is far from the first time Fiasco has spoken about politics. He’s made appearances on The Colbert Report and even criticized former president Barack Obama as “the biggest terrorist.” After Donald Trump took over office in 2016, he also wrote on social media: “To my fans who look to me for guidance in world & intellectual affairs who see Trumps victory as a loss for humanity i offer this POV. Will some straight up unfiltered racists feel empowered? Yes. Will that empowerment congeal in2 a new Nazi party checking muslims papers? No.”

Joe Biden Takes Aim At “MAGA Extremists” In Re-Election Announcement

April 25, 2023 by newhiphopnews

President Joe Biden is someone who has experienced massive fluctuations in his approval rating. From the withdrawal from Afghanistan to gas prices, there have been plenty of headlines throughout his time in office. However, he certainly hasn’t had a turbulent tenure like the likes of Donald Trump. Regardless, Biden has a low approval rating, and it has led to speculation over whether or not he would run again for president in 2024. Overall, there are plenty of Democrats who would love to be in his position.

Although, it seems like President Joe Biden doesn’t care about the calls for him to step aside. We know this because today, Biden announced his re-election campaign. Yes, that’s correct. Joe Biden and Kamala Harris will be looking to maintain their spot in the Oval Office come January of 2025. In order to launch this new campaign, Biden offered a video on his Twitter account. Within this video, he explained his vision for America, while also taking aim at “MAGA Extremists.”

Joe Biden Has A Message For His Constituents

Every generation has a moment where they have had to stand up for democracy. To stand up for their fundamental freedoms. I believe this is ours.

That’s why I’m running for reelection as President of the United States. Join us. Let’s finish the job. https://t.co/V9Mzpw8Sqy pic.twitter.com/Y4NXR6B8ly

— Joe Biden (@JoeBiden) April 25, 2023

“Freedom. Personal freedom is fundamental to who we are as Americans. There’s nothing more important. Nothing more sacred,” Joe Biden said in the video. “Around the country, MAGA extremists are lining up to take those bedrock freedoms away.” With abortion rights and voting rights being taken away from the working class, Joe Biden is looking to make a case for the Democratic vision. Although, he will be facing stiff competition in the general election as it is looking likely that he will have a rematch against Donald Trump.

With Ron DeSantis plummeting in the polls, Trump looks like the likely Republican nominee. Overall, the general population has little interest in this sort of rematch. However, they may not have a choice. Either way, the next year and a half of political theatre is going to be exciting to watch. Trump and Biden do not like each other, and that hatred extends to their voter base. Let us know if you think it is a good idea for Joe Biden to run again, in the comments section below. Additionally, stay tuned to HNHH for the latest news around the world.

Kanye West Not Running For President

April 14, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Kanye West is reportedly no longer running for President of the United States in the 2024 election, according to the Daily Beast. According to this report, the Chicago rapper will instead focus on his family and his private Christian school Donda Academy. Moreover, this news came specifically from Adam Camacho, a documentary producer that Kanye hired in November of last year. He spoke of originally joining his team to make a movie for Ye, but also said that communication with the rapper fizzled out after a contract extension. However, once Camacho reached out to him again, he reportedly told him of another direction

“Right now, I am living my life,” Kanye West allegedly told Camacho, based on the latter’s conversation with the Beast. “Like I’m concentrating on the school, The Donda Academy, and my new wife, and my kids, and that’s it. I just want to be left alone.” Another anonymous employee of the Yeezy boss backed up these claims. “His interests are focused on his children, family, and creative endeavors… Anyone that is representing Ye in any political capacity is a charlatan. There is no political shop.“

Kanye West Is No Longer In The U.S. 2024 Presidential Race

Unfortunately for Kanye West, his focus on Donda Academy is not as benevolent or unprompted as it may seem. Recently, two former teachers sued the 45-year-old for a slew of policies, including allegedly forcing kids to eat sushi every day and not allowing outside food. However, the charges also brought up much more serious charges, such as racial discrimination in hiring staff and wrongful termination.

“Ye West, I am so thankful for the opportunity to be at your school,” teacher Cecilia Hailey, one of the plaintiffs, expressed. “But things are not going the way they should, academically, socially or spiritually,” Hailey stated. “And you need to back down and try again with people who know what they’re doing, who can execute a vision, who can help you understand that we don’t know anything about producing albums, but we know how to educate. These children’s lives are in your hands and this vision, especially if you’re trying to carry out the vision of your mother, is just not working right now.” Even though he won’t run for President, the “Can’t Tell Me Nothing” artist still has a lot on his plate to make up for after a few months of intense controversy. Regardless, come back to HNHH for the latest updates and news from Kanye West.
